    This game is not bad. but the wii u version is. they ripped out escalation mode entirely and the framerate is awful. get the ps3/ps4/xone/360/pc versions. they are better.

    This game is by far not a bad game the graphics are okay the gameplay is solid, there are no bugs or glitches and the voice acting is enjoyable. The wii u version doesn't have any online but it's still a good game.

    There's no need for Rise of the Dark Spak to be as dull as it's turned out. [Sept 2014, p.84]

    Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark tries to coast on the goodwill established by the previous two games, but mishandles their gameplay concepts with a badly rushed execution. Boring level design, an awful framerate and a confusing story make this game a slog from start to finish.

    Rise of the Dark Spark is a bad Transformers game to begin with, and the corners cut on the Wii U make it the worst one of all.
